For those considering an alternative to Patreon, I have a self-hosted, open source payment platform that takes one-time and recurring donations via Stripe:
https://github.com/sircmpwn/fosspay https://github.com/sircmpwn/fosspay
I offer this to my supporters in addition to my Patreon page.

- JoshTriplett 9y agoThat doesn't provide the benefit of batching, though. (Of course, now neither does Patreon.) Have you considered putting up a hosted version that batches Stripe charges?

- Sir_Cmpwn 9y agoI hadn't, no. That sounds like a good idea.
- JoshTriplett 9y agoPlease do, and please announce that far and wide. There are likely many projects that'd like to use it but don't want to have to host it themselves, and you might want to catch the pile of current dissatisfied Patreon users.
- CodesInChaos 9y agoIf you accept money on behalf of creators, you probably need some kind of financial service provider license. Handling chargebacks+fees might be a bit annoying as well.
- dba7dba 9y agoAnd I wonder what if Stripe just offered this kind of service? Patreon is just an additional middleman.
